SaveData¶

class sharpy.postproc.savedata.SaveData[source]¶

The SaveData postprocessor writes the SHARPy variables into hdf5 files. The linear state space files may be saved to .mat if desired instead.

It has options to save the following classes:

Aerogrid including sharpy.sharpy.utils.datastructures.AeroTimeStepInfo

Beam including sharpy.sharpy.utils.datastructures.StructTimeStepInfo

sharpy.solvers.linearassembler.Linear including classes in sharpy.linear.assembler

Notes

This method saves simply the data. If you would like to preserve the SHARPy methods of the relevant classes see also sharpy.solvers.pickledata.PickleData.

The settings that this solver accepts are given by a dictionary, with the following key-value pairs:

Name	Type	Description	Default	Options
`folder`	`str`	Folder to save data	`./output`
`save_aero`	`bool`	Save aerodynamic classes.	`True`
`save_struct`	`bool`	Save structural classes.	`True`
`save_linear`	`bool`	Save linear state space system.	`False`
`save_linear_uvlm`	`bool`	Save linear UVLM state space system. Use with caution when dealing with large systems.	`False`
`skip_attr`	`list(str)`	List of attributes to skip when writing file	`['fortran', 'airfoils', 'airfoil_db', 'settings_types', 'ct_dynamic_forces_list', 'ct_gamma_dot_list', 'ct_gamma_list', 'ct_gamma_star_list', 'ct_normals_list', 'ct_u_ext_list', 'ct_u_ext_star_list', 'ct_zeta_dot_list', 'ct_zeta_list', 'ct_zeta_star_list', 'dynamic_input']`
`compress_float`	`bool`	Compress float	`False`
`format`	`str`	Save linear state space to hdf5 `.h5` or Matlab `.mat` format.	`h5`	`h5`, `mat`
